Abstract:

The VIR Collection contains 313 varieties and hybrids of Jerusalem artichoke Heliantus tuberosus L. The material originated from several countries of America and Europe represents a potential source of valuable traits for breeding, including yield and precocity. Clones of 70 varieties and hybrids of Jerusalem artichoke from 11 countries were evaluated for yield and precocity. The selection of valuable for breeding accessions was carried out. As result of five years screening new perspective genetic sources of valuable commercial traits for breeding were singled out.

Abstract:

The oat and barley collections stored at the N. I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry (VIR) reflect worldwide genetic diversity. This vast array of materials undergoes comprehensive studies in the Institute’s fields and labs, and the best accessions are forwarded to Russia’s breeders. Every year dozens of genetic sources and donors produced or identified in the study process are dispatched to all national breeding centers. As a result, most of the oat cultivars currently listed in the Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation have been developed on the basis of the VIR collection or with the help of the Institute’s researchers.
